defects. Neither the volumes nor the manuscript pages are numbered, but volume
numbers are inserted here for the convenience of the reader. The bulk of the
Revolutionary sermons are either among the undated manuscripts and contain no
internal evidence to place them in that period or are missing. The Rev. Turquand
served as a member of the first Continental Congress of South Carolina and was
an active member in the formation of the first constitution of South Carolina. For

Repository: South Carolina Historical Society, Charleston, SC
Commentary: This is one of three manuscript volumes (see accession numbers
1665, 1688, and 1714). This volume, Volume II, contains twenty-five sermons.
The volumes originally had bookplates entitled “Library of Augustine T. Smythe,
Charleston, S. C.” and were given the title “Sermons on Various Occasions by the
Rev. Paul Turquand, Rector of St. Mathews Parish.” The damage to the manuscripts
at the gutter and margin of the sermons does not usually prevent a clear reading
of the text. Only a few words tend to be conjectureable unless otherwise noted.
